The Solar Blue of 2018
The 2018 vintage is a landmark for Dom Perignon: a near-perfect growing year with a "perfect weather trajectory" of generous sunshine, the Maison's earliest harvest ever, and the first vintage declared under Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon — who pushed Chardonnay ripeness to its maximum while balancing the Pinot Noir pick. The house describes the wine as "broader, deeper, longer," pairing it with the 2010 rose as "one solar and taut, the other more intimate and shadowed." Hirst's deep-blue Kaleidoscope dressing — blue for infinity and spirituality — suits it: the repeating shield multiplies across bottle and gift box in one of the boldest Dom Perignon artist editions yet.

Tasting Notes
The house describes a wine of depth and minerality — "solar and taut," with sweeter fruit and more pronounced salinity than previous vintages, plus added tactile depth. Expect the classic Dom Perignon blanc architecture: citrus and white fruit, chalky minerality, and a long, savory finish, amplified by the exceptional 2018 growing season.
How to Enjoy
Chill to 48–52°F and pour into white wine glasses, not flutes — the aromatics deserve room. A vintage for milestone dinners and collectors' shelves alike. Pair with caviar, lobster, or sushi. Keep the Hirst gift box intact for display.
